Math
Representing numbers in a variety of ways. Using pictures, numbers, tally, graphs, etc. students worked in groups to show 15, 150 and 1500 in as many ways possible.

QUESTIONS:
What role did you have in your math group? What was challenging about your role? What worked well? 


Science
Students used their knowledge learned in class to choose a topic of interest relating to "Waste in our World". They've been working on a poster project using "non-fiction text features" to represent their learning. Students are including illustrations, photographs, headings, captions, etc to their poster. We will continue this into next week.

      

An important component of research is to collect information in an efficient way. Students are learning how to effectively write using "jot notes". We watched a video to break down the steps in taking jot notes at an elementary level.



QUESTION: Describe your research topic to someone in your household. Why did you choose that particular topic?

Social
Another perspective: Sit Spots
Having a relationship with nature instead of just thinking of what you can take from it.

QUESTIONS:What connection did you make with nature? Where was your sit spot?

French/Health
Collations Sante (Healthy Snack)

QUESTION: Qu'est-ce que tu mange pour ton collation saute? (What are you eating for your healthy snack?) Je  mange ... (I eat...)
